Bowie volleyball bounces back with win against Jacksboro
The Bowie Lady Rabbits had a good bounce back game by beating Jacksboro at home on Tuesday night.
The Lady Rabbits won in straight sets 3-0 with only the last set being competitive.
Bowie was coming off a disappointing loss against Henrietta from the previous week. After beating the Lady Cats in four sets the first round of district, Henrietta had come right back to beat the Lady Rabbits in four sets at the Lady Cats home floor.
This was after Bowie had lost only one district match during the first round of district, to the undefeated and state-ranked Holliday team.
There was no letdown from the previous week as Bowie came out and took control in the first two sets. Both were won with little drama at the end with set scores being 25-15 and 25-14.
The third set proved to be a problem when Jacksboro refused to lay down and Bowie took it easy to start off the set.
It went down to the wire and took extra points in a set that could have gone either way. In the end, it was the Lady Rabbits who came out on top, winning 26-24 to win the set and the match 3-0.
No individual statistics were available at press time as the coaching staff has been having technical trouble.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.

“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
